    Hi

    I love your plugin and wonder if you can help me. On one of the sites I manage a disgruntled former content manager changed the login url for login and wp-admin before departing. Ouch. I have root access to the server. If you could tell me where this information is stored (database, file, etc.) I could fix it quickly. Thanks.

    Hi Bill, your quickest process is the following.

    FTP into your site, rename the plugin folder. Log into your site and rename the plugin folder back to its original name. Then enable the plugin and change the settings in question which is located under Brute Force tab.

    Let me know if you need more information or help.

    Thank you

    Hi, in that case try the following steps.

    1) use CPANEL file manager (or FTP) and temporarily rename this plugin’s folder.
    eg, rename from
    all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall
    to
    tmp-all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall

    2) Get your currently active .htaccess file and remove all code which is between and including the following tags:
    # BEGIN All In One WP Security
    # END All In One WP Security

    3) Log into your site using the standard login link – ie, wp-login.php. Then rename the folder back to all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall.

    4) Once logged in you can disable or re-configure the feature(s) which were giving you problems.

    5) And if you want to clear all the settings from the plugin to start from scratch, install the following reset addon. Then once the addon is installed, make sure AIOWPS plugin is deactivated and then run the reset addon in your site. Once the settings are reset in the plugin, enable AIOWPS and start from scratch.

    Let me know if you need more information or help.

    Kind regards
